“…Another important matter is the choice of the coupling ratio of the optical coupler which influences both the source output power and the transmitted signal quality. Increasing the optical power reflected back to the RSOA reduces the transmitted power and thus the optical budget [18]. On the other hand it enhances data modulation ( fig.6) and improves the receiver sensitivity.…”

“…This implies to put the mirror at the optical line termination side, extending the cavity length which is then given by the drop and the feeder fibers. This choice increases the cavity losses, the roundtrip time and thus the time to reach the steady state [18]. The cavity build-up is relatively long: in reference [15], for a 420 m long cavity the output power reaches its steady state after 6 roundtrips whereas the optical spectrum and the bit error rate reach their steady state after more than 100 roundtrips.…”

The self-seeded cavity appeared in the last few years\ud as a colorless and low cost solution for wavelength division multiplexing\ud access. Although the self-seeded source presents a simple\ud architecture, its behavior has been misunderstood for a long time.\ud In this paper, we explain its operating principles and why we can\ud define such a source as a laser. We evidence a laser threshold and\ud show cavity modes for various lengths.We describe the conditions\ud required by the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier to sustain\ud the self-seeded cavity, by evaluating the choice of its epitaxial\ud structure and the influence of its optical confinement factor. An\ud analysis of the cavity behavior is given, pointing out that the relative\ud intensity noise results from the beating noise between the cavity\ud modes. An overview over the last performances in the C- as well as\ud in the O-band is then presented. Some practical applications are\ud reported. In particular, we detail themobile front-haul as a possible\ud employment for the self-seeded cavity to achieve a self-organized\ud wavelength network

“…There, colorless transmitters come as an evidence to reduce production costs and avoid a large amount of sparing items in the network. Among several existing colorless technologies, self seeded DWDM sources based on RSOAs have shown a certain appeal with the advantage to provide an automatic and passive establishment of the wavelength [2]. It brings simplicity to use DWDM in the access networks fields with operational savings realized and external controllers to adjust the wavelength avoided.…”

“…Such a self-seeded PON has been experimentally demonstrated to be capable of transmitting multi-gigabits non-return-to-zero on-off keying (NRZ-OOK) upstream signals over relatively long distances [3]- [6]. Recently, 10 Gb/s-class NRZ-OOK signal transmissions have also been reported by making use of 4 GHz modulation bandwidth RSOAs and sophisticated electronic equalizations in the optical line terminal (OLT) [7].…”

Intra-Cavity Chromatic Dispersion Impacts on 10-Gb/s Optical OFDM Transmissions Over 25-km Dual-RSOA-Based Self-Seeded PON Systems

Owing to the lack of strong physical mechanisms capable of elaborately balancing a large number of longitudinal modes created in a self-seeded passive optical network (PON), the resulting coherent-like optical signals are vulnerable to frequencydependent optical phenomena such as chromatic dispersion (CD). In this paper, based on our recently reported real-time dual-reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA)-based self-seeded adaptive optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OOFDM) transmitters, detailed experimental explorations are undertaken, for the first time, of the impacts of intra-cavity CD on 10-Gb/s OOFDM transmissions over 25-km self-seeded PON systems. The cavity length-dependent intra-cavity CD effect is identified to be one of the most prominent physical mechanisms determining the practically achievable performance of such PON systems. In comparison with a 10-m-long dual-RSOA self-seeded fiber cavity, the accumulated intra-cavity CD effect associated with a 1-km-long dual-RSOA self-seeded fiber cavity not only considerably broadens the optical spectral width of the self-seeding-created coherent-like optical signal but increases the signal relative intensity noise (RIN) by 4.8 dB (at a 2-GHz signal spectral region) as well. In addition, a further 1.1-dB signal RIN growth is also measured after the 25-km single-mode fiber (SMF) PON system transmissions. As a direct result, the dual-RSOA self-seeded PON with a 1-km-long fiber cavity suffers from a 2.2-dB power penalty degradation for 10 Gb/s over 25-km SMF intensity modulation and direct detection OOFDM transmissions.
